Thunder and Rosy Clouds

遠雷與晚霞

Driven to confront a past she once concealed, a Taiwanese daughter films her mother’s journey back to Sichuan, China, unearthing the weight of cross-strait history within their shared silence.

A daughter begins documenting her Chinese-born mother, searching through family archives, fragmented memories, and a journey back to Sichuan. As she traces her mother’s past, questions of identity, belonging, and absence begin to reshape her understanding of both family and self. What starts as a search for her mother gradually becomes a search for herself.
